Breaking a cartoon character’s design into clean, readable lines is exactly what this guide to how to draw Tilly Green works through, step by step, as part of the Big City Greens tutorial collection on the site. Tilly’s bob haircut and oversized eyes give her a specific shape language that takes a bit of focus to nail down on paper.
What the 24 Steps Cover
This tutorial runs 24 steps from the initial construction sketch to finished line art, with no color fill applied, so the focus stays entirely on clean outlines and proportion. The raised arm adds a slight asymmetry to the overall pose that is worth paying attention to in the middle steps.
Tilly’s Key Design Features
- Black bob haircut covering half the face
- Large wide eyes with freckled cheeks
- Simple dress with scalloped collar
- One arm raised in a waving gesture
- Small strap shoes on feet
If you are working through the Green family, you might also want to try Cricket Green or Bill Green once you finish here. For side characters, Remy Remington is another good one to practice next.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly where you are in the process:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
